A general calculation of Casimir energies --in an arbitrary number of dimensions-- for massless quantized fields in spherically symmetric cavities is carried out. All the most common situations, including scalar and spinor fields, the…
The mode problem on the factored 3--sphere is applied to field theory calculations for massless fields of spin 0, 1/2 and 1. The degeneracies on the factors, including lens spaces, are neatly derived in a geometric fashion. Vacuum energies…
In this paper we reconsider the formulation for the computation of the Casimir energy in spherically symmetric background potentials. Compared to the previous analysis, the technicalities are much easier to handle and final answers are…
In this paper we sum over the spherical modes appearing in the expression for the Casimir energy of a conducting sphere and of a dielectric ball (assuming the same speed of light inside and outside), before doing the frequency integration.…
In this article, we obtain the explicit expression of the Casimir energy for 2-dimensional Clifford-Klein space forms in terms of the geometrical data of the underlying spacetime with the help of zeta-regularization techniques. The…
The Casimir energy is calculated in one-, two-, and three-dimensional spaces for the field with generalized coordinates and momenta satisfying the deformed Poisson brackets leading to the minimal length.
A simple method for calculating the Casimir energy for a sphere is developed which is based on a direct mode summation and counter integration in a complex plane of eigenfrequencies. The method uses only classical equations determining the…
We compute the Casimir energy for a free scalar field on the spaces $\,R^{m+1}\,\times\,\tilde S^2\,$ where $,\tilde S^2\,$ is two-dimensional deformed two-sphere.
Using ensembles of two, three and four spheres immersed in a fermionic background we evaluate the (integrated) density of states and the Casimir energy. We thus infer that for sufficiently smooth objects, whose various geometric…
The Casimir energy corresponding to a massive scalar field with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a spherical bag is obtained. The field is considered, separately, inside and outside the bag. The renormalization procedure that is necessary…
We investigate the response of Casimir energies to fluctuations in a scalar field in a weak gravitational field in the $\kappa$-deformed space-time. We model the Casimir plates in a gravitational field by $\kappa$-deformed Rindler…
The vacuum expectation value of the surface energy-momentum tensor is evaluated for a scalar field obeying Robin boundary condition on a spherical brane in (D+1)-dimensional spacetime $Ri\times S^{D-1}$, where $Ri$ is a two-dimensional…
The aim of this paper is to show that within the open-system framework the sum-over-modes approach \'a la Casimir leads to the Lifshitz formula for the Casimir free energy. A general result applicable to arbitrary geometries is obtained…
We calculate the Casimir energy at spherical cavities within a host made up of an arbitrary material described by a possibly dispersive and lossy dielectric response. To that end, we add to the coherent optical response a contribution that…
Casimir energy for a massless scalar field for a conical wedge and a conical cavity are calculated. The group generated by the images is employed in deriving the Green functions as well as the wave functions and the energy spectrum.
Casimir energies on space-times having the fundamental domains of semi-regular spherical tesselations of the three-sphere as their spatial sections are computed for scalar and Maxwell fields. The spectral theory of p-forms on the…
The Casimir energy for a conducting spherical shell of radius $a$ is computed using a direct mode summation approach. An essential ingredient is the implementation of a recently proposed method based on Cauchy's theorem for an evaluation of…
This is a general work on gravitational lensing. We present new expressions for the optical scalars and the deflection angle in terms of the energy-momentum tensor components of matter distributions. Our work generalizes standard references…
Quantum vacuum energy (Casimir energy) is reviewed for a mathematical audience as a topic in spectral theory. Then some one-dimensional systems are solved exactly, in terms of closed classical paths and periodic orbits. The relations among…
A global approach with cut-off exponential functions previously proposed is used to obtain the Casimir energy of a massless scalar field in the presence of a spherical shell. The proposed method makes the use of two regulators, one of them…
